People from all walks of life, including traders and transporters, on Tuesday fully followed the lockdown, imposed on the seven northeastern states in a bid to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, officials said.
The authorities, specially the health services officials, have further stepped up their efforts and campaign against the COVID-19, after a 23-year-old Manipuri woman who returned from the United Kingdom last week tested positive, making it the first case in the northeast region of India.
The woman, who is now undergoing treatment at the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) in Imphal, did not reveal her travel history earlier before she was detected positive with the novel coronavirus.
